How do i get windows live mail to not check my server for email automatically?

How do I get Windows Live Mail to wait until I hit Send/Receive to get mail off my server?

Hi, doreenheath.
Thank you for visiting Apple Support Communities.
I understand that you want to add your Windows Live mail account to your iPod touch. Here is the article that will walk you through that process.

How to transfer my windows live mail account to my iPad

After selecting Add Account at Settings > Mail, Contacts, Calendars, select Microsoft Hotmail and follow the prompts.

Windows Live Mail could not be started .... Your Calendar contains corrupt data .... ox8000fff

I downloaded the Windows Live Essentials for Windows 7 running under Parallels 5.0.9310. When I try to bring up Windows Live Mail I receive the error:
Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (ox8000fff).
I have:
1. Done a repair via control panel
2. Deinstalled just mail from the control panel, removed the registry entries for Windows Live Mail in hkey_current_user and hkey_local_machine.
3. Reinstalled just mail.
Nothing seems to work. I am still getting the error.

Hi Caprichoso,
Since it is to be more of Windows Live Mail issue, I kindly recommend you to contact Windows Live Mail Technical Support Team for a specific solution. Here I would like to share the following method based on my research:
You can click Start, click Control Panel and click Clock, Language, and Region, click Date and Time, click Change time zone and uncheck the box in front of “Automatically adjust clock for Daylight Saving Time”, click OK twice.
Best Regards
Dale

Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247

Hi
Can you please HELP??
I recently had to change my hard drive for my laptop (Sony Vaio). The IT guy replaced my HDD and ghost all my information
from old to new drive. Everything works perfect except for Windows Live Mail.
When I open WLM I get this error:
“Windows Live Mail could not be started. Closing Windows Live Mail. Your calendar contains corrupt data that is forcing
Windows Live Mail to close. (0x8E5E0247)”
I have since done the following:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 1:
1. Close Windows Live Mail and any other Windows Live programs.
2. Click Start (then Run for
Windows XP), paste the following path below and press Enter:
%Localappdata%\Microsoft\Windows Live Mail\Calendars
3. Rename the folder of the account you use to sign in to Windows Live Mail to
sync your calendar (ex. rename [email protected] to [email protected]).
4. Restart your computer for the changes to take effect.
5. Launch Windows Live Mail again.
THIS DID NOT WORK SO I DID THE FOLLOWING:
PROBLEM SOLUTION 2:
I removed WLM (uninstall) and reinstalled and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 3:
I also renamed the WLM folder and reinstalled WLM, then deleted the new WLM folder and still nothing.
PROBLEM SOLUTION 4:
I also tried to import my emails from WLM to Microsoft Outlook but I only have a copy of my mails from the directory.
I do not have an EXPORT copy saved anywhere. Is there any way I can export the WLM to Microsoft outlook?
PLEASE HELP I AM AT WITS END.

I have had many problems with permissions on Windows Vista, 7,8 & 81.1. It is usually after an update or installation, especially one that requires a reboot to finish (some AVG, Windows Live, Windows Updates, etc). Once File(s), Folder(s)
and Registry Key(s) permissions are screwed up, it can take days to work them out if ever.
After having spent several hours on a clients PC and online forums with this problem. I transferred her user profile with a free program called
Transwiz (run as Administrator) to a zip file on the HDD. I renamed her user in manage User Accounts to "Username old". I then ran Transwiz again to restore the profile but telling it to create a new user using the original Username.
After it completed restoring the profile, I logged out of "Username old" and logged in to Username and all wass well, I only needed to supply the email password which is not transferred. When you move profile data, all the old permissions
have to be removed and <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> permissions added so the data and files belong to the <st1:personname w:st="on">new</st1:personname> user. This cleared up all the permission
problems.

ITunes for Windows 7 64 bit, Windows Live Mail Contacts not (all?) syncing

I have researched this as much as I can but cannot find a solution.
I had my iPhone 4 synced to my Window Vista Home Premium PC using iTunes just fine until January when the PC motherboard crashed. No data was lost and all contacts have been restored to my new PC with is Windows 7 Home Premium (64 bit). My contacts are in Windows Live Mail (Windows Contacts) and I'm syncing via iTunes with "Sync Contacts with: Windows Contacts" selected.
However, not all contacts are syncing with my iPhone. In fact, I'm not sure they are syncing at all, although the sync function goes through. It may be that the only ones that sync are those that existed before the new PC (i.e., the Windows Vista contacts which were in Windows Mail). I have created new contacts on both the PC using the new version Windows Live Mail and on the iPhone since the crash, and would like to get them synced up.
Symptoms:
1) Some specific contacts on PC are not on the iPhone after multiple sync attempts.
I have so far positively identified one contact that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts, however it does NOT show up in my Windows username/Contacts folder!
2) One Contacts group on PC is not on the iPhone, although two others are (they probably were from before the crash).
I have so far positively identified one group that did not sync. It shows in Windows Live Mail under Contacts groups, however it does NOT show up in my Contacts folder as a .group file!
3) The same group as #2 also does NOT show up in the iTunes group list under "Selected Groups" on iTunes, but the other two groups do. (I do not use "selected groups" because that disables "all contacts" syncing, but the groups are visible grayed out on the list.)
4) As a test, I created a new contact on my iPhone, synced, and it shows up now in Windows Live Mail Contacts; it also shows up in my Windows username/Contacts folder.
5) As a test, I created a new contact in Windows Live Mail and it does NOT show up in my username/Contacts folder. I synced the iPhone again and it does NOT show up on my iPhone contacts.
OK folks, where are these missing contacts going and how can I get them synced?? Thanks!
PS: I have the latest iTunes 10.5.3.3, no updates are available. However, Apple Support/iTunes seems to suggest Windows 7 64 bit either "does not use Windows Contacts" (which seemed quite wrong until I ran the tests above), and also that Windows 7 64 requires iTunes 10.4.1, which I cannot install because I have a later version installed. I would have assumed the correct version installed for my OS when I installed iTunes on the new PC. iTunes runs fine by itself and in coordination with my iPhone other than the above issue.
PPS: This site seems potentially relevant, however is highly technical: http://liveunplugged.wordpress.com/2011/02/04/windows-live-mail-contacts-databas e/
but doesn't help with this problem.

I didn't get any help on this from the forum, but from studying around and experimenting with different approaches, I have come up with the following conclusions:
Under Windows Vista, Windows Mail synced its contacts with Windows Contacts [which are in c:\users\username\contacts]. iPhone via iTunes synced with Windows Contacts. Changes to either Windows Mail Contacts or iPhone contacts would always update each other. Life was good.
Under Windows 7, Windows LIVE Mail (WLM) does NOT sync its contacts with Windows Contacts. It puts them into a hidden database. If you have prior Windows Contacts and brought them along for the ride, they are still there in the folder but they are not connected to the WLM contacts database
When you first set up Windows Live Mail, you can import your Windows Contacts and they appear to be synced. (In fact, they are, but only at that single point in time.)
If you change any Windows Live Mail contact or add a new one, it does NOT change in Windows Contacts. It only changes in the WLM contacts database. It therefore does NOT sync to your iPhone.
Similarly, if you change a contact on iPhone or add a new one, it will sync with Windows Contacts. However, this does NOT update your Windows Live Contacts.
So, from what I can tell, here is what this means: to maintain a steady state, you have two choices:
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts [the Windows Contacts folder has a "New Contact" button], and they will stay in sync with each other. Then manually update or add it in Windows Live Contacts to keep those up to date so you can use them for e-mail. OR
Whenever you update or add a contact, add it in either iPhone or Windows Contacts, and they will stay in sync with each other. DO NOT manually update Windows Live Contacts, but realize they are not always up to date. If an address needed for an e-mail is not in there, manually retrieve it from your Windows Contacts or your iPhone and insert it into the e-mail. [Having done that, you can right click on the address in the e-mail and add it to your WLM contacts if you want.] Periodically, manually delete all of your Windows Live Mail Contacts and then re-import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail and, voila, your contacts are in sync again! (Isn't that great, I mean really awful??)
NOTE: If you follow course #2, DO NOT import your Windows Contacts into Windows Live Mail contacts without deleting your existing Windows Live Mail contacts, or you will end up with a double set plus the new ones.
FURTHER NOTE: I obviously can't make any guarantee you won't lose data if you follow course #2. Be sure you have a complete backup before deleting your WLM contacts. However, I will say that after experiencing a double set of WLM contacts (by failing to understand the first NOTE above), it was impossible to pick out the new items [WLM will now show you the date of entry or modification of the contact, so you can't sort by date], so I deleted all of them and re-imported my Windows Contacts and had a complete set again.
AND ONE FINAL NOTE: I have not tested how any of this affects Windows Live Contacts used online outside of Windows Live Mail, because I do not use Windows Live online.
Please post further comments if you have any more information on this topic.

Firefox w/Win 7 and Windows Live Mail does not auto-hyperlink from Send Link. I know cut-and-paste. Is there fix?

On other computer, w/Vista, Windows Mail, clicking Send Link works perfectly, providing one click hyperlink. Running latest Firefox on both computers. Made Windows Live Mail default email. No help. Uninstalled Windows Live Mail and switched to thunderbird, made default. Didn't work.

I'm searching for a solution as well.
For now, when the compose message windows opens with the plain text link, I just click anywhere in the body of the message below the text. This will place the cursor at the end of the link. I then hit Enter, and the hyperlink becomes active.

How to forward specific windows live mail (hotmail) folder

Hi everyone,
i'm a new BB user and i have this problem with forwarding e-mails from my windows live account (hotmail).
In there i have multiply folders with filters so e-mails are sorted properly. The problem is that when i get a mail in my inbox it's forwarded to my phone but when it's filterd to a specific folder it's not being forwarded.
So my question is how can i setup it up on my phone so the e-mails from a specific folders are forwarded to the phone?
Tnx.

The BlackBerry is really not designed to work that way.
It is designed to receive mail from your email server direct, pushed to the handheld device.
Doing it your way won't be clean, but regardless, on the sub-folder received emails in Outlook, just set yet another forwarding rule for any email received IN that folder, to be forwarded to another email address, or your device.

Mail does not recognize outgoing server for Forwards or content other than text

Since installing Mountain Lion Mail has been erratic. It generally will not send mail that I Forward nor will it send mail that includes links, graphics photos, etc. It sends original mail consisting of text only without a problem. When I try to Forward mail, or send new mail that includes content over and above text, I get the following result:
None of the options will send the mail. If I “Try With Selected Server”, I go into an endless loop – click on it, get the same Cannot Send… window back. “Try Later” merely puts the message into my Outbox where it sits – and sits. It will sit there for days if I let it. If I sooner or later try to send it, I get the above Cannot Send… window again. If I “Edit the Message”it still will not send. The Connection Doctor tells me that the mail account is logged in and connected without a problem. If I “Edit SMTP Server List” I get Mail Preferences – the edit SMTP list window – and no SMTP servers listed – blank list. Yet the Mail account has the proper iCloud SMTP server in its set-up. Moreover, text only emails send without a hitch. I can readily send them before, during and after the “Cannot Send…” window pops up for an email that has other than text included in its content.
Interestingly, if I put the problem email into my Draft mailbox and then go online and log-in to my iCloud account, I can then open the email in iCloud online and send it – and it sends without a pause or quibble. Why won’t it send through Mail on my computer???
NONE of this happened in Lion.

IS PSE8 compatible with Windows Live Mail

Before installing W7+WLM I was able to share my photos using the "Photo Mail" feature with Outlook Express.
Now in W7, I use Windows Live Mail (since OE seems to be replaced with this email program) but I'm not able to use it to send photo emails.
After selecting the photos in the "photo mail" feature, and right before the photo email is supposed to pop up, I get this error message:
"Elements Organizer could not finish creating your E-mail message.
Alternatively, you can use the Adobe E-mail Service via the Elements Organizer Preferences dialog."
In the preference/sharing tab, I get two options: "Windows Mail" and "Adobe Mail"; I do not see "Windows Live Mail".
What am I doing wrong?
Is PSE8 compatible with Windows Live Mail?

Thank for your reply, V.
You are implying that Windows Live Mail is not supported by PSE8... is this the case?

have you tried using imap instead?
if you can access your email from the web page then sounds more like a problem with windows live mail and not your BT account

Windows Live Mail not connceting with BT email

Hi
After 11 weeks trying to get help from BT I managed to get my BT email working, sort of. The problem I'm left with is that Windows Live Mail will not connect to it, an error message of user or password not recognised appears. I've read various messages on the internet but still have had no success. My Windows Live settings are as follows:
Servers
My incoming mail server: POP3
Incoming mail: mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail: mail.btinternet.com
Email username: [email protected] (have tried this with the part before the @ also)
Password: xxxxx (Password working on BT email)
Log on using clear text authentication
Advanced
Server port numbers:
Outgoing mail: 465 with SSL ticked
Incoming mail: 995 with SSL ticked
Any idea what is wrong? Should I go back to BT about this when incoming and outgoing mail is working using BT email? Thanks for any help
Goggs

I use the following settings on Windows Live Mail with BTMail on Windows 7
Open your Windows Mail
Go to Tools > Accounts > Properties
Check in user Information that you have entered your name and the full email address. Tick the box “include this account when receiving mail etc”
Click the Servers Tab
My incoming mail server is POP3
Incoming mail (POP3) mail.btinternet.com
Outgoing mail (SMTP) mail.btinternet.com
Incoming Mail server:
Email username: Prefix of your email address
Password: (your normal email password)
Tick the box “remember password”
Tick “log on using secure authentication”
Outgoing Mail Server:
Tick box “my server requires authentication”
Click on the button “Settings” ensure that it is using “use same settings as my incoming server”
There are no changes in the “Connection” or “Security” tabs so ignore them.
Click on the “Advanced” tab
Server Port Numbers
Outgoing (SMTP) 465
Tick box “requires secure connection (SSL)
Incoming (POP3) 995
Tick box “requires secure connection (SSL)
Delivery:
Tick the box “leave copy on server”
Click OK and close the mail down.

Should I use Windows Live Mail or Outlook Express ...

I have always used Windows Live Mail, as it is a very simple and pleasant program to use - great graphics, interface and reminders.
I found Outlook way too fiddly and technical, with a very boring interface and comparatively poor reminders that email has arrived.
However, since getting my E71 setup with Nokia Messaging, I have overcome this for the sake of being able to sync my contacts and messages - Outlook 2007 is now set as my default browser.
This was ok, but now when I use Windows Live Messenger I get email reminders up - and clicking on those takes me into Windows Live Mail.
I just want one, streamlined email/messenger service - one of these email managers must be deleted!
- Can I sync my E71 into Windows Live Mail instead of Outlook?
OR
- Can I replace Windows Live Mail with Outlook 2007, as the email manager used by Windows Live Messenger to open emails?
I want everything done with one email browser!

You can use iCloud Mail with Windows Live Mail, but not Calendars or Contacts.
If you want to use iCloud on Windows download EMClient, you can access the core services (Mail, Calendars and Contacts) using it. Installation and configuration will be manual.

How do i get windows live mail to not check my server for email automatically?
